My parents used to use a cleaner because Dad has a long commute and Mum had some health issues. The costs above sound about on a par with what they were paying. They thought it was well worth it but they did describe a couple of quirks about it.

One cleaner they had was very short. She worked under some kind of outfit and her contract didn’t allow her to climb on things, so after a couple of months it was noticeable with the kitchen cupboards particularly that they were clean from where she could reach down but that grease was building up above that.

Another cleaner they had was really thorough about dusting all their art work, but always left all of it slightly squint.

They also commented that every cleaner they used had one blind spot – but at least that means you only have to clean that one thing yourself!

In the end, their cleaner moved back to S Africa at about the same time as Mum retired so they didn’t hire another one, but they seemed happy if slightly amused with the experience.
